If there is one thing the modern football fan wants to see it's speed.

There's nothing more appealing than watching a winger rinse a sluggish defender with a stunning turn of pace or a speedster beat an opponent to a loose ball.

Over the years Arsenal have had some spectacularly quick players and, arguably, in Hector Bellerin, currently own the fastest man in their club's history.

But who have been the quickest Arsenal players in the Premier League this season? Thanks to the clever people at Opta, we can now tell you.
